David Ortiz, Jason Giambi, Gary Sheffield, Sammy Sosa - the profusion of star power is terrifying news for baseball purists, who for years have griped that the DH rule, which was instituted in 1973 to spark sagging American League offenses, takes much of the strategy out of the national pastime.

Jason Piatt, a junior, was at McBride hall right next to Norris and couldn't get out of the building. "So," he says, "We're trying to figure out what was going on. One kid had a PDA [personal digital assistant] and got email and we found out there had been a shooting on the campus and they were investigating it.
